As is so often the case with Shakespeare, undying love and bittersweet pain are inextricably linked. In the scene from A Midsummer Night’s Dream set to music by David Massong, Lysander and Hermia, who is to be wed to another, bid each other farewell and promise to meet again in a secret place to be married. However, the confidence and determination of the two lovers, which alternates between the women’s and men’s voices, is dimmed. A dark cloud of desperate and intensifying exclamations in the individual women’s voices rises briefly and gradually dissipates again. Hier der Text zum Kopieren: Will I Meet With Thee I swear to thee by Cupid's strongest bow, By his best arrow, with the golden head, In that same place thou hast appointed me, Tomorrow truly will I meet with thee. By all the vows that ever men have broke, In number more than ever women spoke, In that same place thou hast appointed me, Tomorrow truly will I meet with thee. Keep promise love, keep word! I will, I will! Pray thou for us, keep promise love! There will I stay for thee. O cross! O spite! O hell! Pray thou for us, pray! O will I meet with thee? I swear to thee by Cupid's strongest bow, By his best arrow, with the golden head, In that same place thou hast appointed me, Tomorrow truly will I meet with thee. William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616): A Midsummer Night's Dream: Act I, Scene I
